I’m writing a script for doing this in a more automated manner.
Things I noticed with scripting so far:
- Need a way to interact with user. Even something as simple as “pick a layer” dialog would be good.
- Need a python module to be able to process SIF files more easily. Yes, it’s just XML but it gets a bit tedious having to work with the XML directly. I wrote a bunch of functions of my own for this, but these could be perhaps gathered in a library module (which comes included with Synfigstudio)
More integrated scripting would require loads of work if I’m not mistaken. And there’s some stuff (ie. effect layers) which would simply be too slow if implemented as scripts.
